Artist Profile

THE ETERNAL SEARCH

I am moving; moving in the direction of a particular
end because the end is a illusory as the beginning.
The quest to seek and search is eternal. The human in
me decides upon and plans, which is but a folly. I rationalise
upon for something concrete. Surprisingly things happen
on their own. I proceed because the next moment everything
I had sought for becomes old. I proceed; to seek something
new......

Life has been linked with a gamut of
changes. But at this juncture too I still feel that
I am just a beginner. The beginning perhaps has a purpose
and a wish for self realisation.

Life is shaped according to space and time one lives
in. Art came as a challenge in my life. This challenge
propelled me with wings of imagination to create something
concrete. I ventured to rid me of my confinements and
left home, landing on other terrains, where I came across
people of my kind. Thereby interaction with artists
of different motivations and simply a change of place
served as a nucleus to sort out problems that young
artists like me face at the outset of a career. The
chaos which I went through brought a realisation that
helped me to see my past/present with clarity. This
clarity is conducive to the depiction of human predicaments.

I have been working in printmaking for last few years,
simultaneously doing drawings and painting. I use line
as a formidable element to express. Printmaking offered
me to learn its various and subtle nuances. My image
making process remains the same in drawing, printing
and printmaking.

Human Life interests me. My works reflect my perception
of the immediate world around. They represent the metascapes
of mind.

My journey has just begun. The end is unforeseen. I
hve moved; I am moving and will continue to move on
and on...
